1993 lexus sc300
Lower control arms were shot went ahead and swapped in another set of control arms with good bushings also put in some other struts with lowering Springs I had laying around, when the car is almost full lock the tires skip outwards also when hitting a bump car tires to pull to the side and follows deep lines on roads, I've checked over the front end and looks as if all bushings are in tact, ball joints are tight . If anyone has had a similar issue please share what was replaced to solve the problem. Thank you

The obvious question is, did you have the car aligned?

From my experience the car follows the road because of alignment issues. If the car has been out of spec for a while the tires wear down to match the bad alignment, so even after getting a new alignment it'll take time for the tires to even out.

Your tires my have some uneven wear on them.....causing it to skip....

I have noticed this before when buying used tires that were stretched previously

No alignment because when I told the shop my issue is was having they told me a alignment would not solve the problem and that it is something else so I put it back in the air and went over all components again and tightening where needed . Car no longer pulls hard when catching lines on freeway, only slightly skipping at full lock now

Yea more then likely I was going to change to coilovers and different wheel set up . The set up it was now is just temporary lowering Springs on blues with 19s

How wide are your front tires?

if you changed your control arms you will need an alignment, following the road funny could be a toe out problem. did you go up in wheel size? that also causes the car to follow grooves more.
